Behind the Eye
Synopsis
Vogue model. Surrealist muse. Combat Photographer. Lee Miller lived several distinct and extraordinary lives, each to the fullest. Man Ray’s lover and muse, her torso is familiar from some of his most arresting photos, and other pieces of her from other works (her lips floating above the skyline, her eye affixed to a pendulum…), but the story behind the enigmatic gaze is largely unknown. Behind the Eye is a portrait of this beautiful, brave, magnetic, impossible woman.

Reviews
"Behind the Eye is a tour-de-force evening of theater...So much of this show is stunning.” - Cincinnati Enquirer Review
“She is the fascinating focal point for Kreitzer's compelling new play, perhaps the best piece of theater at the Playhouse this season… Kreitzer's writing, muscular and sharp, requires close attention and the result is thoroughly rewarding… Anyone who yearns for the power of dynamic theater needs to look Behind the Eye.” - CityBeat
